The Sharing Path

The Sharing Path 6x8 oil on panel
The title of this comes from time spent at a Paint Away with a small art group that we take each year, four days of sharing, painting walking and one afternoon at a nearby gallery. This birch appeared at the side of the path as we went on a walk one afternoon. Very Pristine bark among all the decaying leaves and waining foliage of late fall made it look like someone all dressed up and nowhere to go. These outings are always inspiring and reviewing sketches and photos lets me enjoy it in the middle of winter.

I have 5 children and 4 stepchildren, all grown. I teach painting to anyone who wants to learn,We raise a very large garden and share produce with neighbors and foodshelves.
